Purple Gold Soul Fighting

"Hello, everyone! I'm Doudou, your host at the Heaven Dou Imperial City Great Soul Arena. Spectators, our Gold Soul Fighting Arena is welcoming a newcomer: Frost Sword! Let's hear you cheer!"

As host Doudou finished speaking, a spotlight fell on Yu Tianshuang in the arena.

"Our newcomer's opponent is an old friend of ours, Desert Mad Lizard, who has already won four matches in a row. He's a level 44 Power Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor!"

As soon as she finished, the spotlight fell on a middle-aged man opposite Yu Tianshuang. He was sandy yellow all over, with a face full of wrinkles.

"Let's take a look at both contestants' information. My heavens, what am I seeing? This newcomer Frost Sword's Soul Power Level is only 29? He's just a Soul Grandmaster?"

Doudou spoke in disbelief, and waves of murmurs rose from the spectators below when they heard her.

"What's going on? What's a Soul Grandmaster doing here in the Gold Soul Fighting Arena? I thought Frost Sword looked like a dark horse, so I placed a heavy bet on him. What rotten luck!"

"Me too! Ugh, this Frost Sword has really screwed us over."

As the clamor of the spectators rose and fell, Yu Tianshuang paid it no mind. He merely asked the host in a level, cold voice, "Can we begin?"

"Yes, yes. Both sides, reveal your Martial Souls. The match begins!"

"Desert Mad Lizard, level 44 Power Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor. Kid, either there's something wrong with your head and you signed up for the wrong match, or you're arrogant and far too confident in yourself."

With that, a sandy-yellow lizard appeared over his body.

Ignoring Desert Mad Lizard's mockery, Yu Tianshuang raised his left hand without a word.

"Frost Sword, level 29 Power Attack System Battle Soul Grandmaster. Martial Soul: Frost Dragon."

As he spoke, dark clouds filled the sky, and an icy-blue dragon churned through the clouds and rain. Then, as Yu Tianshuang swept down his left hand, it plunged from the sky and possessed him. Two Soul Rings lit up around him, one purple and one black.

"My heavens, what am I seeing? Frost Sword's First Soul Ring is actually a purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring, and his Second Soul Ring is a black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring! It's truly unbelievable, and his Martial Soul is a top-tier Beast Martial Soul! Is this what gave contestant Frost Sword the confidence to challenge the Gold Soul Fighting Arena with level 29 Soul Power?"

Flying in the air with a microphone in hand, host Doudou couldn't help exclaiming when she saw Yu Tianshuang's Soul Rings and Martial Soul.

Feeling the tremendous pressure from Yu Tianshuang after he completed Martial Soul Possession and seeing the two dazzling Soul Rings floating around him, one purple and one black, Desert Mad Lizard charged first.

"So what if you have a top-tier Beast Martial Soul? You're only a level 29 Soul Grandmaster. Watch me crush you!"

"Fourth Soul Skill, Mad Lizard Assault!"

With that, he transformed into a spiral of sand and wind and rushed toward Yu Tianshuang.

Watching the spiral of sand and wind draw closer, Yu Tianshuang merely pressed two fingers together and swept them toward it.

"Seven Kill Sword Intent, Giant Gate."

As he swept out his fingers, a streak of icy-blue Sword Qi flew from them, slashing toward the spiral of sand and wind that Desert Mad Lizard had become. It carried an incomparably sharp might and a bone-chilling cold.

Boom! In an instant, Desert Mad Lizard was struck by the Seven Kill Sword Qi Yu Tianshuang had unleashed and turned into an ice sculpture.

Yu Tianshuang turned around and walked off the dueling platform without so much as a glance at the ice sculpture.

A profound silence suddenly fell over the arena, followed by waves of cheers and exclamations.

"See? I told you I was right to bet on Frost Sword! He beat Desert Mad Lizard in just one move. Haha, I've made a fortune this time!"

Doudou, who had been staring blankly in the sky, also came to her senses amid the spectators' cheers and announced, "Frost Sword wins this match! It's truly unbelievable, spectators! Contestant Frost Sword used a level 29 Soul Skill to defeat contestant Desert Mad Lizard, who is level 44, in just one move. Let's cheer for him!"

"Hmm, it seems ordinary Soul Ancestors can no longer put you under pressure. Desert Mad Lizard didn't have an optimal Soul Ring Configuration, and the quality of his Martial Soul wasn't very high, but defeating him in one blow was very good."

Shui Xinrou praised Yu Tianshuang as he came down from the platform.

Over the next six months, Yu Tianshuang's record of thirty consecutive victories shocked the entire Heaven Dou Imperial City Great Soul Arena. Now, whenever Frost Sword had a Soul Fighting match, the seats were packed, and tickets were nearly impossible to get.

"Spectators, today Frost Sword, the rising star of the Heaven Dou Imperial City Great Soul Arena, is about to face his thirty-first match. If he wins this one, he will become the first level 29 holder of a Purple Gold Soul Fighting Medal in history!"

"Let's take a look at Frost Sword's opponent for this match. Wow, he's a newcomer! A Defense System Soul Ancestor with a Soul Power Level as high as 49 and the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul!"

"Kid, I recognize you. The woman who comes with you every time is Shui Xinrou, the vice dean of Skywater Academy, isn't she? I'm Huyan Qiang of the Elephant Armor Sect. We took fifth place in the last Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament. Your teacher must have told you that your Skywater Academy has never won a match against our Elephant Armor Academy, because earth counters water."

With that, a massive mammoth appeared behind him.

"In your understanding, does earth necessarily counter water? Naive!"

Yu Tianshuang, who had instantly summoned his Martial Soul and completed possession, spoke in a mocking tone.

"Heh, kid, treasure the time you have now. You can only act wild for the moment. Soon, I'll show you what unstoppable really means."

"All right, it's clear there's plenty of tension between both sides. Can Frost Sword defeat this level 49 Soul Ancestor and earn his Purple Gold Soul Fighting Badge? Let's wait and see!"

As host Doudou finished speaking, Huyan Qiang was the first to charge.

"First Soul Skill, Prismatic Barrier Ice Array."

Though he spoke as if he held Huyan Qiang in contempt, Yu Tianshuang was extremely vigilant. Watching Huyan Qiang charge toward him, he didn't send out a streak of Sword Qi as he had before. Instead, he played it safe and used his First Soul Skill.

Seeing the five ice walls that had appeared in front of him, blocking his target, Huyan Qiang charged on without slowing. A yellow shield appeared before him.

"First Soul Skill, Bronze Wall and Iron Bastion."

Bang, bang, bang. After five sounds of ice walls shattering, Huyan Qiang appeared before Yu Tianshuang.

But by then, Yu Tianshuang had finished charging his Third Soul Skill, and dozens of ice swords gleaming with cold had condensed behind him.

"Second Soul Skill, Frost Sword Tooth Rain."

As Yu Tianshuang swept his hand down, the dozens of ice swords condensed behind him whistled toward Huyan Qiang.

Clang, clang, clang! The ice swords struck Huyan Qiang in an instant, but Huyan crossed his arms over his head and blocked them all amid a series of metallic clashes.

"What's wrong, kid? Is that all you've got? Are you trying to tickle me?"

Huyan Qiang shattered the last ice sword and looked at Yu Tianshuang mockingly as he spoke.

"This is bad. Tianshuang is only a level 29 Soul Grandmaster, after all. Against an opponent with such formidable defenses, and with his attribute countered as well, he's somewhat hamstrung."

Seeing that Yu Tianshuang's Third Soul Skill had failed to cause Huyan Qiang the slightest injury, Shui Xinrou couldn't help speaking with some concern.

"Second Soul Skill, Mammoth Assault."

After mocking Yu Tianshuang, Huyan Qiang immediately used his Second Soul Skill and continued charging at him.

Yu Tianshuang reached back with his right hand and drew an ice sword condensed by his Third Soul Skill. He knew his Third Soul Skill couldn't break through Huyan Qiang's defenses.

With an ice sword condensed by his Third Soul Skill in hand, Yu Tianshuang gathered the dozens of ice swords that had just condensed behind him into it, one by one.

Then he stared coldly at the charging Huyan Qiang and swung his sword.

"Ice Heaven Frost Sword-Ice Heaven Concentrated Spirit, Army Breaker."

Whoosh! As Yu Tianshuang swept out the sword in his right hand, a fierce streak of icy-blue Sword Qi slashed rapidly toward Huyan Qiang with an unstoppable momentum.

With a resounding thud, the Sword Qi struck Huyan Qiang and sent him flying.

Huyan Qiang landed on the ground with disbelief in his eyes.

Then the second stage of Ice Heaven Concentrated Spirit followed, and an Ice Flower Cluster struck Huyan Qiang just as he landed.

Crack! Huyan Qiang instantly shattered the ice that had frozen him. His eyes reddened, and he panted heavily as he glared at Yu Tianshuang, who was pointing the longsword in his hand at the sky.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Mammoth Earth Shockwave."

Just as Huyan Qiang was preparing to unleash his Fourth Soul Skill, he saw icy-blue lotus buds suddenly appear across the dueling platform.

As the buds appeared, the temperature on the dueling platform began to plummet, and ice slowly spread across the ground.

But Huyan Qiang ignored them and spat out his Fourth Soul Skill, an earth-yellow wave of light that flew toward Yu Tianshuang.

Holding his sword toward the sky, Yu Tianshuang kept his eyes tightly shut and ignored the wave of light rushing at him.

Seeing Yu Tianshuang act so overconfidently, Huyan Qiang couldn't help showing delight.

But the smile on his face soon froze, because he saw the wave of light he had spat out freeze when it had traveled three halves of the distance to Yu Tianshuang, then break into shards of ice and dissipate.

Huyan Qiang looked at Yu Tianshuang in disbelief and was just about to compose himself and charge.

Yu Tianshuang opened his tightly shut eyes, then plunged the longsword he held aloft into the ground beneath his feet.

As the longsword entered the ground, the icy-blue lotus buds on the dueling platform began to bloom. Then, one by one, they exploded with a series of booms.

"Ice Heaven Frost Sword-Ice Lotus Frost Slash-Seven Kill."

When the icy mist in the arena cleared, Yu Tianshuang looked at Huyan Qiang, who had become an ice sculpture, and waved away the solid ice covering him.

Thud. Huyan Qiang fell from the ice, his whole body an icy purple and his breath already as faint as a thread.

Yu Tianshuang glanced at the burly men from the Elephant Armor Sect on the platform and turned to leave. Then he spoke in an utterly cold voice.

"If you don't want him to freeze to death, hurry and get him treated."
